Our progress so far

Since the launch of ‘Zero by 30’, over 2 million doses of quality-assured dog rabies vaccines have been delivered to 13 countries in Asia and Africa. This first progress report highlights the various other achievements between June 2018 and September 2019 to empower, engage and enable countries to reach the rabies elimination goal by 2030. It demonstrates, through concrete examples, the incremental collaborative impact of the four organisations of the ‘United Against Rabies’ (UAR) collaboration on national, regional and global rabies elimination programmes.
